To ensure the security of your camera, you will be asked to change the 

password for your camera’s default username (

admin

). Please select a 

password that is at least 8 characters long and one that uses a combination 

of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Note that once 

the password is changed here it will take effect immediately. If you 

forget your password, you can always hard reset the camera using the 

steps detailed in the Troubleshooting section of this guide.

Your camera is now ready to go!
